V. carpatica, Borbas. Grassy bank of a ditch on Rainford 
Moss, S, Lancs., June 1904. The flowers are variable in size, 
but usually as large as or larger than those of V. liitea. The latter 
does not appear to occur in Lancashire, and Mr. Linton in- 
forms me that the record for v.c. 60 in Top. Bot. was an error. 
— J. A. Wheldon. “In floral characters the plant agrees well 
with carpatica named by Prof. Borbas in Herb. Mus. Brit. ; in 
vegetative characters, however, it is every way larger and more 
luxuriant, the leaves and middle lobes of the stipules being at 
least three times as broad. Although the probability of specific 
identity is strong, in the absence of evidence derived from culti- 
vation, we can hardly include the plant under the name carpaticaP

Viola . Bredon Hill, Worcestersh , Aug. 1904. — R. 
Saunders. “ V. arvatica^ Jord.”— E. Drabble. 
Viola . Ref. No. 29997. Field on the chalk, above West 
Wycombe, Bucks, Aug. 1904. — G. Claridge Druce. “ Very near 
V. arvatica, Jord.” — E. Drabble. 
Viola . Ref. No. 29998. Dry chalky field near Alhury, 
Herts, May 1904. This is referred to V. alpestris, Jord., by Mr. 
E. G. Baker. A new record for Herts. I have gathered it also 
in several places in Bucks, but not always as typical as these 
specimens. — G. Claridge Druce. Dr. Drabble concurs in re- 
garding this as V. alpcstris. 
Viola . Ref. No. 8244. Cowley, Oxon, May 1893. — G. 
Claridge Druce. “ V. alpestris, Jord., a stout apparently lowland 
form.” — E. Drabble. 
Viola . Ref. No. 27694. Flinty field in the Lambourne 
Valley, between Weston and Boxford, Berks, July 1904. This 
Mr. E. G. Baker refers to V. Paillouxi, Jord., which confirms 
a previous record, see Flora Berks, p. 79. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Dr. Drabble refers this to V. alpestris, Jord., adding, “ F. Paillouxio 
is only separated on the ground of colour difference. In Paillouxio 
there is more or less — often very little — blue tinge in the upper, 
and perhaps also in the lateral petals, but the flowers of the same 
plant may show in some cases a blue tinge and others be without 
it. Hence in any aggregate sense the plant is V. alpestris, Jord.” 
Mr. Baker entirely agrees with this naming. 
Dianthus gallicus, L. St. Ouen’s Bay, Jersey, 24th June 1904. 
— Stanley Guiton. A few excellent specimens.
